The Prototype: RhB Sliding-Wall Freight Cars in Eras IV–V

The Rhaetian Railway, founded in 1888, is one of Switzerland’s best-known narrow-gauge railroads. During Epochs IV and V (approx. 1970–1990), sliding-wall cars such as the Haik-v 5109 played a crucial role in freight transport. These cars were used to transport general cargo that needed to be protected from the elements. Characteristic features of these cars are the sliding side walls, which allow for easy loading and unloading, as well as the sturdy steel construction, which ensures a long service life.
